USM Student Council Endorses Slots Referendum

The USMSC voted yesterday to endorse the slots referendum by a vote of 6-1-4. Each institution has one vote, and all voting institutions were represented. Representatives discussed for a good while whether or not the Council should take a position on the referendum. A number of institutions, including UB, UMB, UMBC, and Towson, had spoken at length with institution-based student governments and expressed those viewpoints at the meeting. Other student representatives relied on informal conversations with students on campus.

The USMSC Leadership will communicate the opinion of the Council in a letter by next week.
